1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2021

The passenger side airbag light comes on each time my mother is in the passenger seat. It stays lights for periods of time. At times the light goes off, then back on. I have brought it to an automotive repair shop and have notified fidelity warranty services since we purchased the royal protection plan which is still in effect until November 2021. I am afraid that if my mother is in the front seat and the light sensor is not fixed and we are in a front impact accident she will be injured.

2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2019

When an adult sits in the passenger seat the passenger side airbag turns off. The passenger side airbag light comes on and it states the air bag is off. It happens anytime someone sits in the passenger seat. It is a major health hazard and if its not addressed and replaced. I will have no choice but to get my lawyer involved if an accident ever occurs and it doesn't deploy due to the faulty technology.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2018

This has happened on multiple occasions. When driving with my wife (usually my only adult passenger) we have both noticed that the air bag light is on, stating that the air bag is turned off. This seems like it would be a dangerous situation if we got in an accident. This happens when we are driving or just sitting in the car stopped with the car on. Date of incident is a random date as this has happened multiple times.

4 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2017

When there is a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat, sometimes the �airbag off� indicator light will go on randomly. I even have video proof of this happening while my girlfriend, weighing 130 pounds, was sitting in the front passenger seat with her seatbelt on. The light would stay on for minutes, sometimes an hour, before randomly turning off. Also, the engines oxygen sensor randomly triggers the �service engine� light as well, I believe it needs to be reprogrammed.

6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/23/2016

Issue is with the passenger seat airbag sensor. The airbag light comes on, indicating the airbag is off, even when an adult is sitting in the passenger seat. This problem occurs at different times, including if a passenger is in the seat before the car is started, if a passenger gets in the seat after the car is started. Sometimes the light turns off, sometimes it doesn't. We have videos showing multiple instances of this happening. Nissan claims there is no problem, can not duplicate the problem, and refuses to replace the sensor. Other Nissans have had this problem and are subject to recall. The Maxima needs to be included in the recall.

7 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2016

I have a 2014 Nissan Maxima and have had an issue with the passenger seat airbag sensor for over a year. The airbag light comes on, indicating the airbag is off, even when an adult is sitting in the passenger seat. The problem occurs at different times, including if a passenger is seated in the car before the car is started or if a passenger gets in the seat after the car is started. The problem persists while the car is in motion or when the car or brought to a stop. Occasionally the light turns off, most times it does not turn off. I have taken the vehicle to the local Nissan dealership, gettle Nissan in sarasota FL, and they cannot duplicate the problem and claim there is no problem. They refused to provide any further assistance since they could not duplicate the problem, however the problem continues to occur and I can provide pictures and/or video showing the problem. I have now seen numerous reports from other Nissan Maxima owners with this same issue and it is time for Nissan to add the 2014 Maxima to their recall.

Failure Date: 02/01/2014

Passenger airbag light is on indicating airbag is off when my wife sits in the passenger seat. She is 5'3" and weights approximately 102lbs. Took it to dealer, autonation lewisville, TX. After consulting with Nissan they said it was functioning normally. It is not functioning normally and is a serious safety matter. Noticed numerous complaints online about same subject. It is time for Nissan to admit they have a problem and get it fixed.
